Finally Saw this film
I finally got around to seeing this film on TCM yesterday. It was great. Such a wonderful "Coming of Age" film. It was truly enjoyable. Too bad this classic has been over-looked for decades; it should have received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Too bad that young Mitch Vogel left acting. He went-on to do Bonanza then disappeared from Hollywood; what a great talent. I understand that McQueen was very difficult to work with on this film and gave director Mark Rydell a bad time. John Williams did an excellent Music Score as well. Sorry it took me 40 years to see but I still haven't seen "Citizen Kane" or "Maltese Falcon".
